Legal Education That Makes a Career Impact
Our graduate degree and certificate programs are designed to help make an immediate impact for your career, as it has for these graduates:
I was looking to change careers and always had an interest in law. Initially, I wasn’t planning to look for a new job until I graduated. The program gave me the confidence to begin looking for a new career prior to graduation. I began applying in the spring [before graduation] and was hired for my current position.”
Lynette Kitchen ‘23, Operations Manager
MLS, General Studies
My degree program was a key factor in being promoted into my current role. The breadth of the curriculum was attractive to my employer as I was going through the interview process, and I believe it strongly helped my cause. Each class gave me something I was able to leverage in real time in my role and validated the choice I made to attend.”
Chris Cuzzucoli ‘22, Bank Secrecy Act Officer
LL.M., Risk Management
I wanted more education and an advanced degree … but not just your standard MBA. The Wealth Management program was interesting, and it paralleled nicely with my job. Within seven months I had three lucrative job offers for better pay and higher positions. I wasn’t even looking for a job, but my degree accentuated my experience and made me an attractive candidate.”
Jody Denney ‘21, Fiduciary Officer
MLS, Wealth Management
